Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Logical Bases of Education The aim of this book is to set forth the rational bases of all true educational work. It is believed that such bases can only be found in those modern developments of logical theory which have marked the latter half of this century. Hence, but little of the traditional formal logic will be found in the book. As a mental discipline I believe that formal logic has considerable value, but it seems to me. Certain that we cannot find foundations for modern. Education in a logical theory developed under a, conception of knowledge very different from that of the present day.

Download or read book Classical Mathematical Logic written by Richard L. Epstein and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-12-18 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Classical Mathematical Logic, Richard L. Epstein relates the systems of mathematical logic to their original motivations to formalize reasoning in mathematics. The book also shows how mathematical logic can be used to formalize particular systems of mathematics. It sets out the formalization not only of arithmetic, but also of group theory, field theory, and linear orderings. These lead to the formalization of the real numbers and Euclidean plane geometry. The scope and limitations of modern logic are made clear in these formalizations. The book provides detailed explanations of all proofs and the insights behind the proofs, as well as detailed and nontrivial examples and problems. The book has more than 550 exercises. It can be used in advanced undergraduate or graduate courses and for self-study and reference. Classical Mathematical Logic presents a unified treatment of material that until now has been available only by consulting many different books and research articles, written with various notation systems and axiomatizations.

Download or read book Formal Logic written by Luis M Augusto and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-09 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Logic is--arguably--all about proving, but proofs can be "costly," often impossibly so, and today most are delegated to (partly) automatic provers, namely by so-called SAT solvers, software based on the (Boolean) satisfiability problem, or SAT. This is the dual of the (Boolean) validity problem, or VAL, at the core of the conception of the digital computer via Hilbert's Entscheidungsproblem and the Universal Turing Machine. While these problems--VAL significantly less so than SAT--feature in introductory logic textbooks aimed at computer science students, they are largely or wholly absent from textbooks targeting a mathematical or philosophical studentship. Formal logic: Classic problems and proofs corrects this--in our view--misguided state of affairs by providing the basics of formal classical logic from the central viewpoint of a formal, or computer, language that distinguishes itself from the other formal or computer languages by its ability to preserve truth, thus potentially providing solutions to decision problems formulated in terms of VAL and/or SAT. This fundamental aspect of classical logic, truth-preservation, is elaborated on from three main formal semantics, to wit, Tarskian, Herbrand, and algebraic (Boolean) semantics, which, in turn, via the adequateness results for the standard first-order logic, underlie the main proof systems of direct and indirect, or refutation, proofs, associated to VAL and SAT, respectively. Not focusing on the history of classical logic, this book nevertheless provides discussions and quotes central passages on its origins and development, namely from a philosophical perspective. Not being a book in mathematical logic, it takes formal logic from an essentially mathematical perspective. Biased towards a computational approach, with SAT and VAL as its backbone, this is thus an introduction to logic that covers essential aspects of the three branches of logic, to wit, philosophical, mathematical, and computational.
Download or read book An Introduction to Formal Logic written by Peter Smith and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-11-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formal logic provides us with a powerful set of techniques for criticizing some arguments and showing others to be valid. These techniques are relevant to all of us with an interest in being skilful and accurate reasoners. In this highly accessible book, Peter Smith presents a guide to the fundamental aims and basic elements of formal logic. He introduces the reader to the languages of propositional and predicate logic, and then develops formal systems for evaluating arguments translated into these languages, concentrating on the easily comprehensible 'tree' method. His discussion is richly illustrated with worked examples and exercises. A distinctive feature is that, alongside the formal work, there is illuminating philosophical commentary. This book will make an ideal text for a first logic course, and will provide a firm basis for further work in formal and philosophical logic.
Download or read book Formal Logic written by F. C. S. Schiller and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-16 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Formal Logic: A Scientific and Social Problem The present work, however, is only intended to achieve the former, and intrinsically the less important, of these aims. It is an attempt to expound the traditional doctrine strictly, in its dependence on its fundamental assumption, viz. That it is possible to study the formal frat/z of thought irrespective of its truth in point of fact, and to show that this fundamental abstraction everywhere leads to failure, failure both to account for the procedures of human thinking and failure to attain even formal consistency. Thus the various defects of the Formal doctrine are all derived from the falsity of the initial principle which defines the 'science.' I confess that to myself the discovery of the source of Logic's troubles came as a great relief. For, in common with most teachers of Formal Logic, I had found it a very difficult subject to teach without loss of self-respect. It so constantly seemed to be necessary to slur over the real difficulties to which the traditional doctrines conduct honest thinking, to palliate masses of inconsistency in what professes to be a logic of formal consistency, to refuse arbitrarily to pursue the problems raised, on the plea that they extended beyond the field of Logic into 'metaphysics' or 'psychology, ' and to draw the line between the 'logical' and the 'extra-logical in a wholly illogical manner. All logicians, I believe, have felt these difficulties more or less, and seen that nothing is easier than to attack and condemn Formal Logic with its own weapons. Indeed in the details of its criticisms this book will probably be found to present little that is wholly new. What alone may claim to be something of a novelty is the diagnosis of the malady which has paralysed Logic from the beginning, and rendered it so unsatisfactory a subject of instruction, and so impotent to guide the course of human thinking. It is not possible to abstract from the actual use of the logical material and to consider 'forms of thought in themselves, without incurring thereby a total loss, not only of truth but also of meaning.

Download or read book Forallx An Introduction to Formal Logic written by P.D. Magnus and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-27 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forallx is an introduction to sentential logic and first-order predicate logic with identity, logical systems that significantly influenced twentieth-century analytic philosophy. After working through the material in this book, a student should be able to understand most quantified expressions that arise in their philosophical reading. This book treats symbolization, formal semantics, and proof theory for each language. The discussion of formal semantics is more direct than in many introductory texts. Although forall x does not contain proofs of soundness and completeness, it lays the groundwork for understanding why these are things that need to be proven. Contents: What is logic? Sentential logic Truth tables Quanti ed logic Formal semantics Proofs Other symbolic notation Solutions to selected exercises
